Home Owner Grant Equivalent Application

TFN is introducing an online application for Home Owner Grant Equivalent (HOGE) through TFN’s website. You can continue to submit the grant in person or by mail. Leaseholders that pay their taxes online with Bill Payment Service or through a mortgage company still need to submit their grant by mail, in person or online.

Please click the following link for the HOGE application. The application can either be submitted online or by printing it for signing and delivering a hard copy to TFN.

Online submission requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader application. You can download a free copy here. To submit the HOGE online, fill in all the required fields and click the “Submit Form” button on the bottom of page 2 which will email the application to taxation@tsawwassenfirstnation.com. The form will not allow you to click the “Submit Form” button if any required information is missing. An email reply will be sent to confirm receipt of your HOGE application. If you don’t receive a confirmation email please contact TFN’s Property Tax Department or submit a hard copy to TFN.

To avoid a penalty charge on the HOGE portion of any unpaid taxes, we must receive your completed application on or before July 4, 2017. If you pay online through Bill Payment Service or through a financial institution you still need to submit your HOGE to TFN. You can apply for the current year’s grant until December 31, 2017, but penalty charges will apply after July 4, 2017.

Only one HOGE can be claimed by you or your spouse each year. You may be required to submit additional documentation to establish your eligibility and HOGE’s are audited for up to seven years to ensure applicants are eligible for the grants they receive.

After December 31, 2017, you have one year to apply for an extension to claim a retroactive HOGE. Please contact TFN for more information.
